Why to visit Krishna's Butterball

The unusual 250-ton granite boulder known as The Krishna's Butterball is sitting or standing at an angle on a hill. It is referred to as the Stone of Sky God. Due to the enigmatic sight it presents, this is one of Mahabalipuram's most thrilling visitor destinations. Nobody is entirely clear why this enormous boulder, known as Krishna's butterball, appears to defy gravity.

According to Folklore—

The boulder is said to symbolize the quantity of butter that Lord Krishna used to smuggle and consume. Another old wives' tale claims that despite the efforts of numerous rulers from the Pallava dynasty, together with their armies and elephants, the rock would not shift. Although it is curved at some angles and almost as wide as it is tall, the boulder is not a perfect spherical. It now proudly serves as a point of interest for all tourists in Mamallapuram and confounds people with its illogical balance.
